It will start slowly the first time, there’s a problem with libguile finding its precompiled binaries in the bundle, but I’ll need help from the Guile folks to sort that out. It may take a couple of days, or it may take longer if there’s a guile bug.

Well, that took longer than expected to build. In the meantime I found another problem with the Intel bundle, which is that it can’t find its SQLite3 module. That’s now fixed and uploaded along with the new PPC bundle (which I fixed for SQL before uploading it).
